OQAN QABL J8-005-J8 - 5 Meter 3.5mm Stereo Minijack Audio Cable (Male/Male)
The OQAN QABL J8-005-J8 is the ultimate connectivity solution for those who need freedom of movement and flexibility in their audio setup. This 5-meter cable is designed to overcome typical distance limitations, allowing you to connect playback devices and sound systems located at opposite ends of a room, studio, or stage without sacrificing signal integrity.
Manufactured to Oqan's QABL series quality standards, this cable delivers clear and reliable stereo signal transmission. Its robust construction features a flexible jacket for easy handling and to prevent tangling, while molded connectors ensure a long lifespan by protecting internal soldering from accidental pulls. It's an essential accessory for musicians, sound engineers, and home users seeking a long-range auxiliary connection.
Main features
This model stands out for its balance between durability and functional performance, ideal for intensive daily use:
-
Extended length of 5 meters: Provides exceptional range, perfect for fixed installations or situations where the audio source is far from the amplification system.
-
Standard 1/8" (3.5mm) Connectors: Equipped with male stereo minijack connectors on both ends, compatible with the vast majority of consumer electronics and professional audio devices.
-
Protection and flexibility: Its tough PVC outer cover protects the inner conductor while maintaining the flexibility needed to route the cable around corners or behind furniture.
-
Balanced Stereo Signal: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) configuration designed to transmit two audio channels (left and right) simultaneously with fidelity.
Benefits of extended length
The main advantage of the J8-005-J8 model is its ability to connect distant equipment without the need for additional extension cables that could degrade the sound. With a single 5-meter length, potential points of failure are minimized, ensuring a direct and clean connection. This is especially beneficial in environments where aesthetics and organization are important, allowing cabling to be concealed along baseboards or cable trays without being too short.
Recommended use cases
The versatility of this minijack cable makes it suitable for multiple scenarios:
-
Home Studio and Multimedia: Connect the audio output of a laptop or sound card to multimedia monitors located away from the desktop.
-
Car Audio: Allow rear-seat passengers to control the music by connecting their smartphone to the vehicle's AUX input.
-
Rehearsals and Live Performance: Send backing tracks from a tablet or MP3 player to a mixing console located several meters away.
-
Home entertainment: Connect headphones (if the cable is detachable) or send audio from a projector to a soundbar.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this cable connect my phone to the car?
Yes, it's fully compatible with any car AUX input that uses the 3.5mm standard (the small headphone jack). Its 5-meter range is ideal if you want to control the music from the back seats.
-
Is it compatible with microphones?
It depends on the microphone. This is a stereo (TRS) cable. If your microphone requires a TRRS connection (like those used in mobile phone hands-free kits), this cable will only transmit audio, not the microphone's return signal. For standard camera microphones or recorders with a stereo line output, it works perfectly.
-
Does the 5-meter length affect the sound quality?
For line-level signals (such as the output of a mobile phone or PC), 5 meters is a safe distance where signal loss is imperceptible to the human ear, guaranteeing clear sound.
-
Are the connectors 6.3mm or 3.5mm?
They are 3.5mm (1/8 inch), commonly known as "Minijack", the standard size for conventional headphones.
